This Month's Running Playlist

I'm not one of those humans who runs without music. My phenomenally groovy cousin Sarah is one of those people who likes to listen to nature while she runs and when she told me this I wanted to grab a water bottle so I could do a spit take.

I LIVE for my running playlist. I listen to my running playlist when I am not running, it's just that awesome.I'm that psychopath who runs dances like this:

But a fresh running playlist can make those rough runs bearable. During a normal running season I have 0 problems listening to the same playlist without ever getting sick of it. I had the same playlist for months! But when I am marathon training I have found that I have to change it up and add new songs every week or I will pull my hair out. I like to listen to my playlists on shuffle so that element of surprise keeps everything fresh. I got a few requests to share my running playlist so without further ado (or judgement, this is a safe space) HERE IS MY RUNNING PLAYLIST AS OF YESTERDAY:
